We have a 2 node cluster setup already
(2) HP BL460c G8 servers connected to a VNX5300 SAN (Nodes 1 & 2)
Server 2012 Datacenter installed
Quarum: Node + Disk
all failover tests went perfectly and all VMs are healthy
Verification on the cluster show some warnings but no failures
We have rebuilt a server (node 3) renamed it and have run a single machine verification test to see if it is suitable for clustering. it succeeded with minor warnings
We ran verification on all three machines and received the formentioned warnings but no game stoppers, however when trying to add the host to the cluster we get the following error in the logs:
WARN mscs::ListenerWorker::operator (): ERROR_TIMEOUT(1460)' because of '[FTI][Initiator] Aborting connection because NetFT route to node <machine name> on virtual IP fe80::cdf2:f6ea:5ce:5f9c:~3343~ has failed to come up.'
This happens after the node is added to the cluster but reports a failure on cleanup processes and reverts everything back. I have done all of this under my domain_admin account.
before and after the attempt to add the NetFT adapter is in media disconnect, during the attempts it does pull down a 169 address as it is supposed to
Node 3 Networking breakdown
The new host uses an Intel/HP NC365T Quard port adaptor
port 1: Mgmt : Static assignment subnet 1
port 2: VM net: Static assignment sibmet 2
port 3: Heartbeat: assigned via DHCP subnet 1 pool (we have attempted the above with this disabled as well)
NCU is not installed for the adapter and bridging in server 2012 is not enabled.
I am at a loss, and would appreciate any additional help as i have spent 3 days researching this to try and find the cause.
